School Awards

"Talbot is a school which provides a welcoming and friendly environment for all. Inclusion is clearly at the heart of school life with all stakeholders displaying strong inclusive values and a common unity of purpose. There is a powerful ethos of genuine care for all pupils with adults clearly prepared to go the extra mile to ensure that every child really does matter."

Talbot Primary School was only the second school in Leeds to achieve the School of Sanctuary award. This was a fantastic opportunity to take positive action to embed concepts of welcome, safety and inclusion into school and the wider community. The children learned about the challenges faced by asylum seekers and refugees and thought about ways to make new visitors into school feel welcome.
